  1. Constraints on CSU Campuses from the BOT and CO Ted Anagnoson Vice Chair of the ASCSU

  2. Sources • BOT minutes/agendas • The flow of money • Charlie Reed’s speeches • EOs • Coded memos • Observation, listening….

  3. Priority number 1 • Make your enrollment targets

  4. Facilitating Graduation • A BOT initiative, w/22 points. • The more important: • 1. Reducing the required units to the BA • 2. Reduce campus graduation requirements • 6. Choosing a major early

  5. 7-8-9-10 Roadmaps and mandatory individual student study plans • 11. Tutoring, supplementary learning, etc. • 12. Renewed enforcement of policies to limit or discourage drops, W’s, I’s • 13. Limited course repetitions • 14. Rich CMS environment for advisors • 15. Strong, timely major advisement • Increase the frequency of advisement in the major, recognize the workload implications

  6. 16. Frequent use of degree audits • 17. Mandatory degree audits at 105 quarter units • 18. Intrusive advisement as students exceed the minimum units for their degrees • Advise students >20% over the limit from their Dean’s office – don’t allow electives? • Get more intrusive the more units they take • Could this work in a predominantly transfer institution?

  7. CAFG in sum: • A serious initiative, done to prevent the Governor from imposing an excess unit fee (“full cost of education”) on students

  8. Technology / CMS • Continued series of briefings to the BOT • Emphasis does not correspond with the “rubber on the road”

  9. Audits • A Chancellor Reed priority • All salaries for executive officers are on the table and public • Campus audits are to be taken very seriously

  10. Other BOT priorities • Lower Division Transfer Program • Really only affects impacted campuses • Others affected in their curricula • Early Assessment Program • A major systemwide priority – expensive • Not clear as to whether it will help improve remediation rates….still waiting… • Reducing remediation is a major BOT priority

  11. Other BOT Priorities • Service learning and community service • CSU Advantage: links to industry. • Chancellor Reed’s industry forums • The “culture of philanthropy” – raise more non-state money • Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes

  12. Information competency • Definite interest in it, but not clear that this will become a priority • Faculty and staff housing • Quality improvement • Year round operations

  13. The result? • Over time • A gradual reduction in campus autonomy • More uniform and less diverse • Excellence? Quality?

  14. Problem areas • Unfunded mandates • Completing requirements but doing so so poorly that nothing works where the rubber hits the road • The sharp divergence between what the BOT and CO staff aspire to and where money flows in the CSU
